VIDEO: Photographer builds mini Jurassic Park for his pet tortoise
Published in Weird News
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- A YouTube user gave his turtle the opportunity to feel like a dinosaur by constructing a miniature replica of Jurassic Park.
The photographer made the mini Jurassic Park for Louie, his Leopard Tortoise, and showed off his faithful recreation of the dinosaur-filled island theme park in a YouTube video.
"It has grazing areas with seeds planted to grow as the weather gets better, a pool for him to drink/swim about in, visitors center and the Jurassic Park Gates," Turpin wrote.
Louie can be seen snacking on some grass as he walks about the main section near the visitors center, which also features a "broken" fence that allows him to walk to a separate area.
Turpin said that Louie is "generally a free-range tortoise" and only spends a few hours in the structure when the sun is out. He also mentioned plans to extend the enclosure in the coming months.
